The Medway girls hockey team opened defence of its OFSAA AAA title with a win and a tie in pool play in Cambridge on Wednesday.

The Cowboys opened with a 3-0 victory over Kitchener St. Mary’s, then played a 1-1 tie with St. Maximillian.

The top-seeded Cowboys finish pool play Thursday morning. A top-two finish in the group will send Medway to the quarterfinals later Thursday.

In the A/AA tournament in Timmins, second-seeded Clinton St. Anne’s clinched a berth in the quarterfinals with a game to spare by winning twice. St. Anne’s beat Notre Dame 3-1 and St. Mark 5-2. Petrolia Lambton Central dropped its first two games, 5-0 to L’Escale and 6-3 to Moira.

In boys play, Lucas lost twice, 2-1 to Malvern and 4-1 to Denis Morris, and was eliminated from the championship quarterfinals with a pool game to play at AAA in St. Catharines.

Lambton Central topped Woodstock Huron Park 8-4 to improve to 1-1-1 at A/AA in Collingwood. Huron Park lost its other game 1-0 to Centre Hastings to drop to 0-3.
